Nate, look at the radar plot on your TVFool report and I'll bet you will figure it out - that station is way off in a different direction. Remember that antenna gain varies tremendously by direction. The radar plot's value is in showing where you need antenna gain the most and where you need it the least.
Tigerbangs told you to point your DB4 at 30 degrees in order to put that antenna's peak gain in that direction with the hope that there would still be enough gain towards 26.1. Before you try a preamplifier, try turning the DB4 in towards north a little bit at a time to see if 26.1 pops in without losing anything else.
